EcoMeal: Gamified Eco-Feedback of Food Consumption using a Virtual Garden
summary
A mobile app called EcoMeal uses barcode scanning to show factors contributing to a product’s ecological footprint, computes an Eco-score, and gives a detailed breakdown for learning. It adds gamification via a virtual garden where users collect water drops by scanning products or completing quizzes; a week-long between-subjects study (N=14) compared the gamified app to a non-gamified baseline and found positive perceptions, increased understanding of food-related environmental impact, and higher engagement with gamification.
